[swimmguy4u]

I met a Moari dance group many years ago and they shared a beautiful church hymn... all I can remember are the words

Jesu Jesu.... teo openga... ke basilia...(maybe my spelling is wrong)

[almalareeO1]

@swimmguy4u YES ur spelling is way wrong - there is no B or S in polynesian

[4usocrazy]

well imagine how would you feel if another race from another country came to new zealand now and took over? How do you think your children in centuries to come would feel?

[Jazzman5456]

What the fuck are u sayin?!

[89789784]

There are three things, very important things, as stated in the Bible. Hope, faith, and the greatest thing, Charity/Love.

[allthatshines]

Truuuuuuuuuuuuuuue.

[arukyducky]

i always thought it was whakapono then tumanako!!

[pbrskater26]

Not religious but it sounds good!

[Imralu]

I noticed you both sang "ngā mea nunui" (not just "nui" as it says in the video info). That's plural isn't it?

[taumarunui05]

listen again and follow the words.

[bananabrothaz007]

Wow...thanks for that! I remember singing this at my primary school but have never known what it meant!... What awesome lyrics!! :-)

Tino Ataahua tenei wahine:D

[Svetlailieva]

Beautuful!

[Melodie8817]

I like this song!

[FuneFeai]

Here is the translation:

E toru nga mea = There are three things

Nga mea nui = very important things

E kī ana = as stated in

Te Paipera = The Bible

Tumanako = Hope

Whakapono = Faith

Ko te mea nui = and the greatest thib

Ko te Aroha = Charity

[BlackKasuari]

can you count in maori? Toru is also three in one of the original languages of maluku (island group occupied by Indonesia, many old languages replaced by malay) This is 1-10 in one of the many original languages of maluku. sa = 1 rua = 2 toru = 3 hani = 4 rima, lima = 5 nena = 6 itu, hitu = 7 waru = 8 siwa = 9 husa = 10

[ShadidThug]

I dont understand why you say Nga mea nu nui- when the lyrics say nga mea nui. Could you please help me understand this?? Another question is they say theirs no s in maori, but at school in kapahaka at the end of the boy's haka it sas K'sss aue hi, this is another thing i do not understand please help

[BonesChick06]

cos ksss isnt actually a maori word. its just a noise they make at the end. i think the nui thing is a typo on the posters part!

[toamaori]

In Haka Kssssss is imitating the dying breath of the enemies you are about to kill, one way its been explained to me, it is also imitating the sound of the wind rustling through the forest. Nunui is a way or saying accentuating Great instead of Nui = Great. i hope i explained it well, but not sure if i did :) Nunui is like saying Tino nui... I always used to think that at school no S in maori exceot for ksssss Hi!

[JodeciMaori]

Nui means big. The repetition of the first syllable makes it an emphatic so nunui means something real big (or in this context - real important). It's the same with roroa.

[JodeciMaori]

Sorry - this is in response to ShadidThug's question.

[QUEoner]

CHURR! neat alryt

the chik is pretty and with a beutiful voice!

tumeke Ehoa

[tehcarnagex]
